Agree with above. Most likely trailing arms. I thought it was pretty easy to do with a jack and 2 jack stands, but higher / roomier is always better for work. I remember one side was difficult to access with the torque wrench b/c other hardware was in the way, I think I used a really long extension to do that chassis bolt.
Went with the Vertex polyurethane rebuilds and have no complaints over 3 or so yrs of use. Replaced the pair just because the poly bushing is a design change and I wanted to stay symmetric. If I had to do it over, might go back to conventional style just for theoretical reasons. Would probably use the 987 version, which reportedly fits perfectly.
BOL.
BTW Not a safety issue, but who knows if all that rattling around accelerates wear on other suspension components. Certainly wears on your pleasure of driving.
